A cheeky wink, a seductive flutter and a suggestive look—let’s face it, our eyelashes are incredibly important, not to mention versatile. We’ve picked out some of the best new mascaras on the market to keep your lashes looking fabulous.

Clarins Wonder Perfect Mascara

Finally we don’t have to choose just one thing we want from our mascara—this little miracle worker does it all. Want to create volume, length and curl and give the effect of wearing eyeliner? You name it, Wonder Perfect Mascara does it. The secret is in the high precision brush and unique formula, which work together to ensure a perfect clump free application, while automatically separating, lengthening and curling each individual lash. $180, available at Seibu, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty, 2971-3888, www.hk.clarins.com.

Max Factor Lash Extension Effect Mascara

Many of us don’t want to spend loads of time and money on professional lash extensions, and thanks to the new Max Factor mascara, we won’t have to. The tapered brush is made up of tightly spaced bristles which treat lashes one by one, whilst the unique formula contains real lash extensions which glide onto the lashes adding extra length. $128, available at FACES, 1/F Ocean Terminal, Tsim Sha Tsui and most Mannings and Watsons stores, 2110-1951, www.maxfactor.com.

Anna Sui Super Black Mascara Full

This perfumed mascara creates thick intense black lashes for a dramatic effect day or night. Its unique formula intentionally gives the mascara coating an uneven surface so eyelashes have a fuller, thicker look, whilst the brush’s fine bristles catch every short lash making sure that the mascara goes on and stays on. $220, available at Anna Sui beauty boutique, Shop 1008, 1/F Elements, Kowloon West, 2196-8796, www.annasui.com.
